Last night’s documentary screening of @thecigarettesurfboard left us inspired, empowered, and ready to take action! 🤩🎬🌊
A special thank you to Ben (film director) and Tyler (creator of the surfboards) who joined us for the film showing and shared their journey of transforming marine debris into tools for change, and reminded us how creativity and community can spark impactful solutions. 🌎
We couldn’t have done it without our amazing partners!

Don’t know if we’ve ever seen Sharleen geek this hard! She spotted flowering Gulf Coast swallowwort on Bulls Island yesterday, before giving our volunteers the planting rundown! (Pic 3 of flower!) Turns out, in 1996 biologist Billy McCord discovered monarchs ALSO lay their eggs on this flowering goodness for their caterpillars to munch on, proving it to be another important host plant! This is a milkweed relative! Thank you @nativeplantsttp for sharing your passions with lil ol’ Marsh Project!
Over 40 volunteers joined today on Bulls Island with @coastalexpeditions@cofc_envsprogram and our little Marsh to Mountains Maymester course to clean up the beach and plant some natives with @nativeplantsttp ! Here are a few cleaning action shots and @lyntally on banana break. Pt. II (pLaNtInG) mañana!
Caps off to a sustainable future! 🎓
We celebrated an incredible group of graduates over brunch who have helped shape, strengthen, and inspire our community. A special shout-out to our student award recipients, you’ve truly gone above and beyond!
